I'm sold. If she has online courses, sign me up. Explaining different methods and techniques of stick control is clear and understandable to practice directly on the snare drum. Most men just want to show off.
You can't be my grandma drummer, I am 62 but I enjoy a lot watching you teaching us. Is amazing God Bless You.
If this wonderful lady had been around when I started playing drums , I would have had a magical tutor , and saved years of doing the wrong things to improve my drumming skills . ❤
Just what I needed Dorthea.
Thank you, Dorothea! This is a great video and I plan to practice my single strokes this way. Looking forward to watching your other instructional videos. Thank you!
As always, THANK YOU!
My students ask the same thing. This is universal. I stress that it takes time and patience
Yes, practice is the answer as long as they have the correct technique to use learned.
This is awesome! Thanks a lot Dorothea!
Thank you, I love the part about going up and down in speed to remain relaxed, been practicing like that alot myself and it really has improved my technique alot
Dude I'm not even a drummer. I'm a guitarist/bassist. But you are so cool. I just discovered you today by accident, it's so sweet and wholesome that you're doing this. You're an absolute legend dude. Definitely subscribing. Maybe I'll break out my old drum pad and try some of these techniques.
Wow thanks so much!!! I don’t post all that much here on YT, but I encourage you to follow my Instagram and TikTok. You may be surprised and at how many followers I have. 😊
Great lesson, thank you so much. Please do more YT posts, as I don't do Instagram/TikTok!
It's so true, even a simple drum solo/break can sound great with the use of accents/dynamics. Something that seems to be ignored by many drummers I think...
Fantastic lesson thank you
amazing, thank you
thanks so much
clear instructions! I learn so much from you! thank you. another fantastic video!
Thanks. love you ❤️
What a really great inspiration to all of us!!! Im totally fall in love with your skill on drumming .🤘🏻❤️ May god bless you always 🙏🏻
love u girl
I really enjoy your videos Dorothea.
I watched your single ratamacue video recently and am practicing it in a groove at the moment.
When I get the timing and the ghost notes correct it sounds fabulous and really catches your ear.
Thank you so much!!
Sgsin very usefull exercice for beginner drummer thanks❤
Hi how are you? You are an inspiration to me as I had completely given up, I was going to stop playing drums, but I was lucky enough to watch your videos and they gave me some strength. Greetings from Argentina.
Thx! I’m going to try to put more up here on TH-cam. Stay tuned.
@@dtdrummerlady I will be very attentive, thank you.
@@dtdrummerlady Good morning Doro ❤️😘🤗🤘🏻
Our drumline warmup was very vey simnilar to this.
Great lesson on a grid! What I like to teach my students in to concentrate on the ghost notes because the accent is "already there, it's just not stressed yet." So, if they can keep their hands moving with an even sound from hand to hand, for the duration of whatever they are playing, they can add the accents in. I came up with that approach because I had noticed that many students were treating accents and ghost notes as if they were completely separate ideas rather than part of the ebb and flow of the same music. Then I teach them the grid, so they can place an accent anywhere in the beat. Then flams, then diddles, then cheeses instead of accents, because that's the natural progression of difficulty. 👍🏾
Yes!!! That’s awesome!!!
@@dtdrummerlady Thank you so much, Ma'am!
@@derrickburwell7777 What do you mean by "cheeses"?
@@rayboreham2648 A "Cheese" is a hybrid rudiment.
In one measure of 6/8, it is:
A flam with a diddled down stroke, followed by two single strokes.
So, from check pattern to Cheese:
Eg. 1: 6/8, one measure, R l r L r l (Uppercase letter indicates the accent)
Eg. 2: Same Time sig., (add the Flam), lR l r rL r l
Eg. 3: Same Ts., (Add the double stroke), lR(r) l r rL(l) r l
Of course, you can add cheese to any rhythm, just so long as it's a flam and a diddled stroke.
I hope that I didn't confuse you!
Happy Drumming! 👍🏾
Thx Maybe in one of your next lessons you will show us the usage of upstrokes you are using when you Play faster 😊
Please check my instagram videos for more lessons on the different strokes etc. @taylor.dorothea
I'm sorry if you have been asked this already but which metronome app do you suggest for baby beginners..TIA..I'm literally just practicing single and doubles right now..over n over😊
If you have an Apple phone I love ‘Click Metronome’. Otherwise there are so many to choose from. As long as they have 1/4’s, 1/8’s, 16ths and triplets you will be good.
I use German grip, is that bad then?
No it’s not bad. If you are already using it and using it correctly and can play with any speed, then go ahead and use it. If you want to try more American grip, give it a try.
I am left handed but I have carpel tunnel issues in my right hand. It falls asleep when I do this exercise. To combat that I turn my hand upside down to wake it up again. So my palm is kind of facing up part of the time. Is this okay as long as I can manage to keep a beat? I know it's sounds strange but otherwise I can't feel my hands for a bit. No, I don't want to quit playing either.
Well, I guess in your case ‘you gotta do what you gotta do’ to manage to play and enjoy your drums.
Can you link what you are playing with or give us the name in this comment please
I’m playing with a practice pad for drummers by Evans.
